Have you allocated ID numbers to the new buttons?

Are they enabled/active?



<div>
Yes, they all have IDs and are enabled. &nbsp;As I said earlier they worked perfectly before Visual C++ 5.0 came out. &nbsp;Now the only thing that doesn't work are the tool tips.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an application that uses SetButtonInfo() to add buttons to the end of a CToolbar. &nbsp;I then create owner drawn buttons (sub-classed off CButton) as child windows of that toolbar.<br />
<br />
The problem is that the tool tips aren't being displayed for these new buttons. &nbsp;This worked perfectly in versions prior to Visual C++ 5.0. &nbsp;I simply overrode OnNotify() and looked for the TTN_NEEDTEXT message (in my sub-class of CToolBar). &nbsp;But now, I don't get this message for my new buttons.<br />
<br />
Oh, another thing is that I need to provide the text for the tool tips dynamically, as they depend on user input (they can't come from the resource file).<br />
